This month's issue has a cover of food with aphrodisiac effects and continues on to three, yes three interviews of people you should know, an introduction to the wonderful cuisine of Basque country, romantic cocktails, tips from how to cook lamb from one of the world's best chefs and much more over 112 brilliant pages. Apart from reviews from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Pune, we bring you a staycation experience from Hyatt, Gurgaon, discuss the merits and demerits of the solo and franchise models in the business of food as well as live discourse on getting body back... stand up style. ... and still there's more. Read. Love. Share.
I find the notion of a day dedicated to a gender a little condescending, given that every day is a reason to celebrate who you are. Having said that, we aren't about to rock the boat and have faithfully brought to you, via our cover story, six inspiring women who did choose to rock the boat and how. While I'm on the topic, and the concept of glass ceilings is still a bit fresh, did you know, car heaters, Monopoly, fire escapes, life rafts, medical syringes, refrigerators, ice cream makers, dishwashers, closed circuit television, central heating systems and kevlar were all invented by women? Did you also know that despite where India is in terms of being a global presence or any other metric you choose to apply, women couldn't work in a bar in Delhi until a few short years ago, and still cannot work past 8.30pm in a bar in Mumbai? Talking of antiquated laws, I hear there's still one going around, which thankfully our cops ignore, that requires a person to present a doctor issued certificate stating he/she is medically required to drink alcohol. Talking of alcohol we have a few vodka cocktail recipes for you this time along with a quick feature on beer cocktails, a rare presence in most bar menus. In fact, apart from the much made Shandy, I doubt most of us have had the opportunity to experience them. Summer is here, so I'm guessing all manner of bubbly, frothy, chilled relief will be explored, beer cocktails being the notable entrant this time around. Which reminds me, beer too is said to be invented by a woman though strangely that beverage doesn't seem to be as accepted by women in this country as in others. Given the lovely weather we're experiencing at this perfect time between Summer and Winter, what do you plan to do? Will you be exploring the great outdoors or using the time to catch up with reading at outdoor cafes alternating between coffees and summery fruit drinks, or other such? Do share on our forum! Stay well. Sid

By now it’s a given: if we’re to help our ELLs and SELs access the rigorous demands of today’s content standards, we must cultivate the “code” that drives school success: academic language. Look no further for assistance than this much-anticipated series from Ivannia Soto, in which she invites field authorities Jeff Zwiers, David and Yvonne Freeman, Margarita Calderon, and Noma LeMoine to share every teacher’s need-to-know strategies on the four essential components of academic language. The subject of this volume is grammar and syntax. Here, David and Yvonne Freeman shatter the myth that academic language is all about vocabulary, revealing how grammar and syntax inform our students’ grasp of challenging text. With this book as your roadmap, you’ll learn how to: Teach grammar in the context of students’ speech and writing Use strategies such as sentence frames, passives, combining simple sentences into more complex sentences, and nominalization to create more complex noun phrases Assess academic language development through a four-step process Look inside and discover the tools you need to help students master more sophisticated and complex grammatical and syntactical structures right away. Better yet, read all four volumes in the series and put in place a start-to-finish instructional plan for closing the achievement gap.
One of The New York Times Book Review's "10 Best Books of 2015" An NYRB Classics Original The Door is an unsettling exploration of the relationship between two very different women. Magda is a writer, educated, married to an academic, public-spirited, with an on-again-off-again relationship to Hungary’s Communist authorities. Emerence is a peasant, illiterate, impassive, abrupt, seemingly ageless. She lives alone in a house that no one else may enter, not even her closest relatives. She is Magda’s housekeeper and she has taken control over Magda’s household, becoming indispensable to her. And Emerence, in her way, has come to depend on Magda. They share a kind of love—at least until Magda’s long-sought success as a writer leads to a devastating revelation. Len Rix’s prizewinning translation of The Door at last makes it possible for American readers to appreciate the masterwork of a major modern European writer.
An insider's look at the history of Witchcraft The evolution of Wicca is as dynamic and colorful as the Witches who helped shape it. One of the most enigmatic and progressive practitioners of his time, Gerald Gardner was arguably the most instrumental Witch in spreading the Craft around the world. Drawing on his decades of personal involvement with Wicca, Michael Howard offers an intimate portrait of Gerald Gardner's life and traces the history and development of modern neo-pagan Witchcraft. Howard reveals little-known facts and stories surrounding the men and women who shaped Wicca over the past sixty years, including Aleister Crowley, Alex Sanders, and influential initiates such as Doreen Valiente. From the Museum of Magic and Witchcraft on the Isle of Man to the origins of the Book of Shadows, Modern Wicca tracks the expansion of Wicca as it spread from the United Kingdom to the United States and beyond-and takes you inside the political controversies, behind-the-scenes rivalries, and once-guarded secrets of pagan ritual, Wiccan spells, and the Craft of the Wise. Praise: "This is an extremely important book, representing an account of Wiccan history from somebody who has himself been a major actor in it."—Ronald Hutton, author of The Triumph of the Moon
